Apple’s radical makeover of its on-screen design received a wary welcome from
some experts, who said yesterday that the changes could test the loyalty of
millions of customers.

The new look abandons familiar icons adopted when the iPhone was released six
years ago, such as leather bound diaries and yellow-lined notebooks.
Instead, Apple’s new software for mobiles, called iOS 7, features a crisper
and flatter design.

Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, described the overhaul this week as the
biggest change to its mobile software since the introduction of the iPhone.
